Ah sorryDidnt check yet
Check back in 19 1/2 hours, not that it'll necessarily be anything readily apparent as was pointed out. Times are in OP.
I wonder if this will tie into the earlier Badge Centre maintenance. Why was that international?

While Badge Center does have deeper hooks into the OS than most 3DS apps, it's pretty unlikely that maintenance for it has anything to do with this eShop maintenance. If they were related, they'd probably overlap.

Sorry I guess I jsut remembered it incorrectly, cause I thought it would begin on 1st November early morning in europe. I was wrong, I'm only human

Ah, good point. I hope we really do get badges soon though, if not that was such a tease.

No need to be sorry man, I just wanted to point out to you exactly when the maintenance ends.
Based on that tweet:
- massive server upgrade/change
- maintenance will last 24h max (something the message on the Nintendo eShop confirms), which means it will most likely end before that. So in other words: don't expect something right after it ends. It'll either be announced today, or later.
By the way, Nintendo has never timed eShop maintenance with any Direct, so... yeah.

Is it normal that my Wii U has been in standby mode (yellow light) since the maintenance started?
Usually it comes and goes and goes back to red only after a few min.

They are upgrading all connected Wii Us to NXs probably.
The optimist in me says that this is to prepare for the server load of releasing splatoon dlc, smash dlc, and twilight princess HD (eshop version) all at the same time.
The realist in me says this is just some backend thing they're doing during a low-traffic time period to prepare for the holiday traffic and maybe even nintendo accounts.

If there's a system update coming, it'll probably arrive as the maintenance ends. Nintendo has never bothered to sync those with Directs either, and there's a bunch of technical reasons why releasing an update then makes the most sense. There's also, a whole bunch of precedent for updates arriving at the end of eShop maintenance. I'm not saying it will happen, but if it's going to happen, that's when it will happen.
I think Nintendo learned their lesson regarding tempting fate with eShop load during Christmas 2013.

I was out of the country for most of the eshop sale and when I came back this maintenance screwed me out of getting anything...
Was going to pick up RE:R on Wii U and RE: Mercenaries.
Edit: called Nintendo the next day and they hooked me up! Said it was a one time thing they would do for me. Really awesome.

The eShop seems to be accessible right now, but the network status page hasn't been updated yet. The maintenance may not actually be done yet.
some changes? like visually, or were you able to access the shop faster?
Hack the system, Pokemaniac. Discover the first TP HD's screenshots, the Kayne West amiibo's line, and the first trailer for Serious Sam 3d. HACK THE SYSTEM, LIVE AS A HEROH!
Seriously, though, massive server upgrade/change? Could that mean that downloads will take less than before? Quicker eShop pages' loading (if the layout stays the same/don't differ that much)? Or what?

No immediately visible changes. However, like I said, the status page says that maintenance is still occurring, so they may not actually be finished yet.

"Massive Server Upgrade/Change" is super vague. They could be migrating to a different hosting provider, they could be making major changes to their databases, or they could be rolling out a huge upgrade to their server software. Until we're sure the maintenance has finished, we really can't know for sure what they're doing or what implications that will have. Even then, there's no guarantee that the changes will even be user visible.
It really could be anything, the only thing we know for sure is that the changes are both "massive" and take longer than usual to roll out.
Maintenance's over.
Also, everyone expecting an update: tomorrow's a public holiday in Japan so chances of anything being released (update or not) range from "none" to "very slim".

It's still going though, or maybe it didn't update yet.

DeNA is providing code, not servers. Nintendo made a big deal that they would run the services themselves.
So... are they using DeNA's code now or something?
Pokemaniac
Member
We have no idea what they changed, yet. There aren't any immediately obvious changes.
Not updated yet. https://eshop.nintendo.net/redeem#/ works (wouldn't during maintenance).
No, DeNA got nothing to do with the Nintendo eShop.
Dena = mobile games and membership services. That's all.

I hhope the data miners are working hard.
Back end services and infrastructures... for the membership service, yes. Not the Nintendo eShop.
Since I may have missed it, please post the relevant PR/meeting transcript as I want to be 100% sure (not just for the sake of that argument
).Anyway, page still not updated. Guess they're just going to leave it like that until 4AM...

That's because, at 4AM, they'll drop the megaton.
As a matter of fact, they won't drop anything
So I make it 3am on 3/11 now.. Anyone near their Wii U to see if things are back up?

Stuff has been working for a while, now, but they didn't officially end the maintenance until like an hour ago.
As I said earlier, today's a public holiday in Japan so there wouldn't have been anything.
I woke up out of the blue at 4:30AM, and if I didn't need to get 3 more hours of sleep I'd check right now.
But currently, no Kimishima-authorized bombs were dropped.

No news on that?

But is it just me, or does the eshop load different pages faster than before?
It actually feels slower to me. It's probably just my awful internet connection, though.
Can you access Miiverse or the Web Browser? Have you tried using a different Wi-Fi?
Haven't tried different Wifi but it's not a general connectivity issue as Miiverse and the browser work. I guess it could be Comcast's DNS is messed up or something.
Pokemaniac

Yeah, that was the first place I went and it wasn't helpful: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wf...p?error_code=005-4701&system=3DS&locale=en_US
Just tried on a Japanese XL and my OG so that's 4 that won't connect. Definitely a network thing but unless it's global I think I'm screwed, nothing about my side of the network changed and I don't have any info about what it's actually looking for to complain to Comcast about either.

My new XL was not connecting to my wifi recently and to fix it I had to remove and re add my wifi and all was well not sure if something in the last update just messed it up a bit but it's fine now.
Sometimes you just need to reboot your whole network it's a good habit to do once in a while.

I'd definitely try deleting and re-adding the connection info.
All the results I get for that error code on Google suggest issues related to server load or pending system updates. Are you sure the systems are up to date? The latest version is 10.2.0-28.
I can't update, it gives me an error when attempting to contact the update server.

If you hold down A+R+L+Up while the 3DS boots, it will go into a special recovery mode which can update even if an update failed. If you still can't connect from there, then you probably have an issue, and I'd recommend either contacting Nintendo support or recording a network trace to see what's happening.
